i thought i was an angel - applem1nt lyrics

[verse 1]
once upon a time, i thought i was an angel like everybody else
my skin, my eyes, my halo were the same as everyone else
never had anything i was good at
couldn’t do anything that i should have
once upon a time, i thought i was an angel like everybody else

[verse 2]
no one taught me how to sing those hymns, but i sang them anyway
no one showed me how to use my wings, but i could fly
never thought anything of the distance that would set me apart from the others
‘cause i still thought that i was an angel like everybody else

[pre*chorus]
and they always cheered me on
and they always pushed me on
i was always taught to understand ten things from one

[chorus]
but i can’t
no, i can’t
everyone’s so far away
getting farther every day
ah, i couldn’t see it for so long
it’s not like i want to do glorious things
i just wanted to fit in, standing tall and proud with them
ah, know it’s such a simple wish
but i can’t
[verse 3]
when angels grow up, they exchange their school uniforms for suits and ties
no one tells them how or why, it’s just what they know to do
but i can’t live the way i’m supposed to
and i can’t work the way that i need to
somehow, i couldn’t do anything like the others could

[pre*chorus]
is it something wrong with god’s design?
dunno what he could have dropped this time
everyone screamed at me to understand ten things from one

[chorus]
but i can’t
no, i can’t
everyone’s so far away
getting farther every day
ah, i couldn’t see it for so long
it’s not like i want to see beautiful things
just a show on sunday night’s all i need to feel all right
ah,i know it’s such a simple wish
but i can’t

[breakdown]
(no, no, no,)
what if one day
you couldn’t fly or sing at all
even though you know your brain knows how
your arms and legs just weigh you down
could you imagine?

[bridge]
so i try to fly, but my wings deny, and scatter dust around me
i don’t know if i, am an angel or, just some pathetic insect
but my heart, it beats, it keeps beating on, without my permission
i’m hungry, i’m greedy, i need money, i need money
i just

want to live
want to live

[chorus]
but i can’t
no, i can’t
everyone’s so far away
getting farther every day
ah, i couldn’t see it for so long
i don’t need my life to be anything special
let me work and have some fun
let me feel the warmth of love
ah, i know it’s such a simple wish
but i can’t
[outro]
once upon a time, i thought that i could live like everybody else
